Belt Display Etiquette

Displaying belts is a way of honoring progress and lineage in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Proper etiquette emphasizes respect—belts should be kept clean, organized, and presented in a way that acknowledges the effort behind them.

In academies and homes, a belt rack or display case reflects personal milestones as well as the shared traditions of the art. The order, neatness, and location of display carry cultural meaning, reinforcing respect for the journey and those who contributed to it.
